[E-Daily Starin Choi Hee-jae Reporter] The movie "Obsession" has topped the box office among films released during the same period on its opening weekend and is gaining momentum through word of mouth.

This figure is more than three times higher than the cumulative audience of 55,360 that “Substance”—a film released in 2024 that sparked a phenomenon—drew during its first week.

“Obsession” is gaining momentum through word of mouth, having recorded a 95% CGV Golden Egg Index. It is also receiving rave reviews for the immersive theater experience delivered by its overwhelming sound and screen.
Curry Barker, who wrote and directed the film, has drawn attention as a YouTuber born in 1999. Produced on a budget of $750,000 (approximately 1 billion won), “Obsession” has grossed over $480 million (approximately 669.6 billion won) worldwide.
